| hmmm.. Didn't they eliminate a whole division back in July?
With the current economic climate, I'm at least happy to see the company is "tightening the belt" at the division and region levels and eliminating headcount there to save money, instead of cutting jobs in the call centers or techs on the ground. (or worse... sending the call center jobs overseas) |

kudos:1 | Yes, they did. That North Central division or whatever it was. It was split into two and the Eastern Division took over half of it...
The job cuts could indirectly be because of that restructuring. |
|
| Sure cut off around 300 jobs... Just to turn around and roll out DOCSIS 3.0. |

With 100,000 employees, there is certainly some fat in the organization that can be cut. Especially in the mid mgt layers where paper pushing is one of the major tasks. Flatten the org a little - I am sure they can find another 700 or so to cut if necessary.
